There is now ample evidence of the ecological impacts of recent climate change, from polar
terrestrial to tropical marine environments. The responses of both flora and fauna span an …

Climate change effects on seasonal activity in terrestrial ecosystems are significant and well
documented, especially in the middle and higher latitudes. Temperature is a main driver of …

Abstract Changes in vegetative growing seasons are dominant indicators of the dynamic
response of ecosystems to climate change. Therefore, knowledge of growing seasons over …

Causal attribution of recent biological trends to climate change is complicated because non-
climatic influences dominate local, short-term biological changes. Any underlying signal …

The average first flowering date of 385 British plant species has advanced by 4.5 days
during the past decade compared with the previous four decades: 16% of species flowered …

New analyses are presented addressing the global impacts of recent climate change on
phenology of plant and animal species. A meta‐analysis spanning 203 species was …

Abstract Background and Aims Many individual studies have shown that the timing of leaf
senescence in boreal and temperate deciduous forests in the northern hemisphere is …

The relationship between vegetation phenology and climate is a crucial topic in global
change research because it indicates dynamic responses of terrestrial ecosystems to …

An increasing number of studies have reported on shifts in timing and length of the growing
season, based on phenological, satellite and climatological studies. The evidence points to …

It is well known that increased spring temperatures cause earlier onset dates of leaf
unfolding and flowering. However, a temperature increase in winter may be associated with …
